Methodological Considerations for Movement Education Interventions in Natural Environments for Primary School Children: A Scoping Review.

2022

Background: Education is the ideal setting for carrying out projects to improve primary students’ capacities. In recent years, interventions in natural environments have been more frequently proposed, but there is still a lack of standardization, making deeper study of the topic necessary. This review aims to report on what previous scientific research has been carried out, and eventually, to propose standard operating procedures for future interventions. Methods: This is a scoping review that adopted the PRISMA guidelines. Primary school children have been included, and the interventions had to be proposed adopting nature as the primary element of the learning process. Results: A total of …

Does Learning Through Movement Improve Academic Performance in Primary Schoolchildren? A Systematic Review

2022

Physically active children have greater motor competence and a faster maturation compared with their sedentary peers. Recent research also suggests that physical activity during childhood may also promote cognitive development and therefore improve academic performance. The aim of this study was to understand if physically active academic lessons may improve academic achievement in primary schoolchildren. A systematic review following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines was conducted. The search was performed on the following database: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and PsycINFO (APA). Stu…

Diet quality and academic achievement : A prospective study among primary school children

2017

Purpose Poor diet quality may impair academic achievement in children, but such evidence is limited. Therefore, we investigated the associations of healthy diet in Grade 1 assessed by Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), Baltic Sea Diet Score (BSDS), and Finnish Children Healthy Eating Index (FCHEI) with academic achievement in Grades 1–3 in children. Methods The participants were 161 Finnish children who were 6–8 years old in Grade 1 and attended in a large ongoing physical activity and dietary intervention study. Dietary factors were assessed using 4-day food records, and MDS, BSDS, and FCHEI were calculated. Academic achievement was assessed by reading fluency, reading comprehension, and arit…

Uz bērna personības stiprajām pusēm balstīta audzināšanas stila ietekme uz skolēnu akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem

2021

Vecāku loma bērnu akadēmiskajā, emocionālajā un fiziskajā attīstībā ir labi zināma visiem. Šajā pētījumā aplūkota saikne starp audzināšanas stiliem unto ietekmi uz studentu akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem Azerbaidžānas kontekstā. Vecāku iesaistīšanās ietekme uz bērnu panākumiem ir plaši aplūkota literatūrā. Literatūrā vairāk uzmanības tiek pievērsts rietumu valstīm un vecākiem kā bērnu sociālekonomisko vajadzību nodrošinātājiem. Ir maz pētījumu par vecāku iesaistīšanos kā akadēmiskajiem starpniekiem, konkrētāk, vecāku lomu, lai vadītu bērnus viņu mācībās un dzīves lēmumos. Iedvesmojoties no pozitīvās psiholoģijas un autoritatīvas pieejas bērna attīstībai, tiek prezentēts jauns audzināšanas term…

It runs in the family?

2022

AbstractFamily background has been shown to be a strong determinant of educational attainment, yet relatively little is known about the role that family background plays in PhD attainment or in the selection into academic careers. In this study, we estimate sibling correlations from Finnish full population register data to comprehensively assess the importance of family background in selection into academia. Our results show that family background accounts for over a third of the overall variation in becoming a PhD and subsequently an academic — a share which is up to four times as large as implied by conventional comparisons by parental education. However, we did not find evidence that fam…

Raport o stanie dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego w Polsce

2017

The article is an attempt to describe the condition of the discourse of literary criticism as practiced in Poland. The author investigates the process of gradual impoverishment and despecification of the language of literary criticism, which reveals itself via diverse socio-literary phenomena, such as the demand for shortenings and evaluative character of literary criticism, the places where literary criticism appears, the disappearance of the quality of the dialogue, and the way literary criticism functions in the Polish contemporary publishing market. A separate part of these considerations is devoted to the overview of the critics’ approaches to the condition of the discourse of literary…

Developing Academic Thinking in the EFL Writing Classroom: A Rationale for General-academic Writing Assignments

2020

Ante el evidente y continuo crecimiento de la variación disciplinaria en el discurso académico, la noción de enseñar el pensamiento académico básico por escrito parece haberse vuelto cada vez más controvertida. Este artículo ofrece una justificación para dos tareas de escritura académica general, cada una de las cuales se centra en la enseñanza de un aspecto clave de lo que se define como la postura intelectual subyacente a la redacción académica en general: la problematización y la posición del sujeto. Problematizar y asumir una nueva posición del sujeto en el contexto de la escritura académica suelen ser tareas difíciles para muchos estudiantes cuando ingresan en la universidad. Las tare…

Epistemic Modality Variation in Community Law Journals

2012

Over the last decades the attention of scholars working in the filed of academic discourse has been directed towards language variation, and academic writing is not any more considered as a consistent and homogeneous form of discourse. The importance traditionally given to the consensual and static aspects of disciplinary communication has been coupled with the emphasis increasingly placed to the analysis of interactions/practices/activities that sustain discourse communities. According to the sociolinguist approach, genres become ‘dynamically rhetorical structures’ that can be manoeuvred according to the discipline’s norms, values and ideology, both historically and incrementally changing …
